The Grade I Listed Lancaster Priory, in Lancaster, Lancashire.
It is likely that a Roman building existed on the site prior to others, possibly around 200AD. A Saxon church is thought to have stood on the site from the sixth century. In 1912 excavations revealed a wall beneath the present chancel area which may be from Roman times, and a small Saxon doorway has been exposed in the west wall of the present nave.
In 1094 Roger de Poitou established a Benedictine priory, dedicated to St Mary, as a cell of the Abbey of Saint Martin of Sées in Normandy, France. Around 1360 the nave was widened to about 49 feet (15 m). In 1431 the church was transferred from Sées to Syon Abbey near London and following this there was a major reconstruction in Perpendicular style. In 1539 this Catholic monastic institution was abolished by Henry VIII and the following year the priory became a parish church. A restoration of the church occurred in 1558.
In 1743 it was decided to raise the steeple 10 yards higher so that the bells could be heard better, and the bells were also to be re-cast. In 1753, the tower was determined to be in danger of falling, so the bells were removed from it. Henry Sephton was commissioned to demolish and rebuild the tower. In 1759 a new tower was erected, which still stands.

The church of St Mary the Virgin is the civic church of Barnsley and suitated in Churchfields at the northern edge of the town centre.
It was erected in 1822 and the tower is retained from the earlier Medieval church. It is Grade II* listed.
The present St Mary’s Church at Goathland was designed by William Brierley of York and completed in 1896. The National Churches Trust refer to its style as ‘perpendicular with some Arts and Crafts overtones’. Much of the woodwork inside the church is by Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thomson of Kilburn.

The stained glass windows on the west (this photo) side of the church were commissioned for the Millennium.
Records from 1568 refer to St Mary’s Chapel, and it was probably located near the site of the present church. The previous church building was completed in 1821 and is thought to be on what is now the church yard.
